Castor oil 30 ml

What it is

Planeta Zdorovia Castor Oil 30 ml is a cosmetic oil traditionally chosen for dry, rough-looking areas and for hair, brows or lashes that need a denser, more conditioning feel. Castor oil is naturally thick and rich, so it forms a soft film on the surface that helps reduce moisture loss and leaves skin feeling smoother and more supple.

Its main value comes from its fatty acid profile, especially ricinoleic acid. In simple terms, this type of lipid helps soften the outer layer of the skin and improves slip, which is why castor oil is often used on coarse zones. On hair, it works more as a coating and smoothing oil than as a light serum: it adds gloss, tames a dry feel and helps protect strands from becoming brittle during washing and styling.

When people choose it

This cosmetic oil is usually chosen by people who prefer simple, single-ingredient beauty products and want one multipurpose option in their home regimen. A small amount can be useful for:

• Coarse skin zones — cuticles, elbows, heels and other areas that become rough.
• Nail contours and flaky patches.
• Hair lengths and ends — as an occasional mask when hair looks dull or dehydrated.

Because the texture is heavy, it is often more pleasant when used sparingly or mixed with a lighter facial or body oil. Castor oil has a long history of use in traditional beauty practices, especially for softening skin and giving hair a fuller, polished appearance. The texture is part of what makes it effective, but also what makes it quite concentrated in feel compared with faster-absorbing oils.

Important notes

• If your skin is very reactive or prone to clogged pores, start with a small test area first.
• Avoid getting the oil into the eyes.
• If you plan to use it on the scalp or face, begin with a modest amount to see how your skin responds.
